Apple has partnered with eBay, to sell Apple certified refurbished models of the Apple iPhone 5, all with a one-year warranty. The store offers the handsets at discounted prices. There are six different versions of the Apple iPhone 5 available from the store. All are GSM models that have been factory unlocked including the 64GB White iPhone 5 for $499, 64GB Black iPhone 5 for $499, 32GB White iPhone 5 for $479, 32GB Black iPhone 5 for $479, 16GB White iPhone 5 for $449 and 16GB Black iPhone 5 for $449.

Nowhere on the site does it say that it is being run by Apple, but the fact that they are Apple certified means that the gang in Cupertino does have something to do with it. This is the second time that Apple has tried a program like this; last time it lasted all of three months and Apple failed to keep the store open. Apple and eBay are keeping a low-profile with the store, electing not to promote it.

If you're interested in checking out the Factory Outlet, click on the sourcelink. The prices being asked for the refurbished iPhone 5 models can save you $200 to $350 off the MSRP of a similar new factory unlocked, GSM flavored Apple iPhone 5.

Available on eBay as well. Just pay attention to the ad and buy from a reputable seller. I find eBay has a far better selection than Swappa and often can find a new phone for the same price as a "mint" phone on Swappa.

At least Apple has the memory pricing right, with a $50 gap between 16GB and 64GB.

Though there are lots of problems with these used iPhone 5 models from what I read in the ATT forums. The ATT re-certified version of the iPhone 5 16GB is $313 and people are still returning it due to issues like the touch screen not working on all of the screen.

That's the Apple jedi mind trick at work. They want you to believe your getting a good deal on the 64gig model but the phones are still over priced. This phone will be 2 years old in 2 months.
I've seen iPhone 5s models go from $300 to $400 on Craigslist.
